Stuck in SA and battling to pay the bills?
Learn the direct H-2A/H-2B job program route to short-term US work.
SA-built training to qualify, apply direct, impress employers, and avoid scams, so you get noticed and hired, earning in dollars.
Safe. Guided. Not alone. No agency. No placement fees.
We created Farm Ready after seeing too many hardworking South Africans being misled, delayed, overlooked or scammed while trying to work in the U.S. through the H-2A and H-2B programs.
Our mission is simple: to guide you step by step, in clear, easy English. We show you how to qualify, find real U.S. job openings, apply directly to real U.S. employers, get hired, get your visa, and get ready for life abroad.
We’re not an agency and we don’t sell jobs. We’re a training and support community built by South Africans, for South Africans — to help you stay informed, confident, and safe every step of the way.

Farm Ready’s H-2A program gives South Africans everything they need to secure legitimate seasonal farm jobs in the United States. Our lessons, visa preparation guides, and verified employer lists make the process simple and transparent. As a member, you’ll also join the H-2A Community — a private space where South Africans already working in U.S. agriculture share real-life advice, farm experiences, job leads, and helpful tips on settling into life abroad. You’ll never go through the process alone.



Our H-2B program helps South Africans find genuine seasonal (short-term) work opportunities in hospitality, landscaping, construction and other industries across the U.S. We guide you step-by-step through applications, visa requirements, and employer connections. Inside the H-2B Community, you’ll get ongoing support from fellow members who are already working overseas — sharing insights on job expectations, accommodation, travel, and how to make the most of your American experience.

Yes, many agents only forward a few easy/perfect applications to the employer, so now your odds go way up because you apply direct, early, and the right way.
Membership provides:
- Direct to employer: where to find real jobs + what to say
- Standout docs: US-ready CV & email examples
- Timing edge: when to apply so you’re first in line
- Verified employer contact detail + visa/interview practice
- Scam protection advice + WhatsApp support (SA community)
Bottom line: you use the same steps agents use, but you do it yourself—direct, correct, on time.
No —"hierdie is die geen agente roete". We do not place people directly. Instead, we teach you how to find and contact farmers/employers yourself, so you can get hired faster and easier.
Not with checklists. We provide step-by-step checklists so there’s no guesswork — paperwork becomes straightforward.
We offer WhatsApp support during working hours — “praat gou” — for quick help and questions. Some membership tiers include extra support options (see membership FAQ below).
- Step-by-step training (plain-English modules + checklists)
- US-ready CV + email templates
- Visa/interview practice (Q&A + checklists)
- An employer email database (verified contacts)
- Scam-Shield basics (what to ignore, what to ask, how to verify)
- WhatsApp learning community (SA support + weekly tips)
Farm Ready is flexible. There are no pesky contracts and no commitments. You can easily cancel your account anytime–just message support on WhatsApp or email and we’ll sort it out fast–anytime during support working hours.
Yes. We help you prep for both employer interviews and visa (consular) interviews. You get mock interviews, an easy Q&A bank, US-style answers, and checklists for forms and consulate day—so you feel ready and calm.
Sometimes — but for H-2A/H-2B it’s usually not practical on your first season. Housing is typically for workers only, and dependent visas (H-4) can’t work in the U.S.
How we help: We’ll walk this with you—give the right info at the right time, plain-English checklists, and trusted contacts. We’ll help plan when/how to bring family, show your partner how to apply for their own H-2A/H-2B job (so both can earn), and note that bringing kids later is usually easier once housing and school are set.
We primarily support members in English and Afrikaans, worldwide. If you need help in another language, ask and we’ll confirm availability.
"Binne drie weke in Texas!"

"Ek het getwyfel of dit regtig werk, maar besluit om Farm Ready se H-2A pakket te try.
Binne ’n maand het ek my eie onderhoude gekry. Ek’s nou op ’n mielieplaas in Texas, ongelooflik om hier te wees! Hulle support en video’s maak alles duidelik, stap vir stap."

“Nou ry ek trekker in Florida!”

"Ek het in Junie aangesluit by Farm Ready en ek het gedink dit gaan maande vat. Binne 4 weke het ek kontak gekry met ’n boer in Florida en nou’s ek hier!
Hulle wys jou presies wat om te sê in emails en hoe om jou CV reg te kry. Thanks Farrm Ready."

"Farm Ready het my lewe verander!"

"Ek wou nou al lank in Amerika begin werk!
Farm Ready het vir my ’n padkaart gegee, hoe om te begin, wat om te sê, en watter papiere ek nodig het.
Rerig die moeite werd om deur die ouens te gaan!"
